Evaluation method
• Students are made up of groups of 4;
• The evaluation is made by analyzing the performance of the physical solution developed, using criteria defined at the beginning of the semester.
• These performances are analyzed in competition between teams.
• The best project is defined by the teachers (with a weight of 75%) and by the students (with a weight of 25%), and an absolute value will be assigned (by the teachers); the remaining projects are classified in relation to the best.
• Each group will indicate if all elements have the same classification or if there are individual penalties and which ones.
